Guild Wars

Anyone tried to box Guild Wars?
Just curious, i was digging around in my pc and found a copy i had long forgot about loaded and loaded it up, but it just seems empty without the other 4 following me.

The original GW?

I never did it, but it certainly can be done.



WIth your "main", you can "call a target" by (I believe, I'm a bit rusty) SHIFT+SPACE.

The others can "pick up the target" you called by pressing "T".

There is no macro system, so you'd have to mess with keybindings in order to make this work (i.e. use unique keybinds for target calling so everyone doesn't target call a unique target at the same time).


Whenever you hit an attack, you auto-run to the max range to cast the spell and/or melee. So you don't even need /follow. :)



You CAN follow a player but it's not a "sticky" follow, you simply run up to their location until you can "touch" them, and then stop following. You can manage this by rebinding the "Target Party #1", "Target Party #2", "Target Party #3" buttons to something more convenient than the F-keys and using "spacebar" to follow them. Unlike WoW, GW party assignments are fixed, and denoted with a number next to the name.


Be aware that "spike teams" in guild wars used to be a fantastic composition and multiboxing would've made it much more effective compared to doing latency tests and calling a "3...2...1.." before spikes in vent. However, post-Factions there are many easy ways to counter spikes (Protective Spirit from vanilla GW, Shelter from ritualists in Factions) so it's not going to be as easy any longer... Or so I understand. I haven't played since pre-Nightfall.
